Do you really think this is because they are Islamic though? Like, thought experiment: what if everything was the same except instead of Muslim they were all Hindu. Do you really think the ME wouldn't a massive violent shithole?

At least wait until your side loses before you start making excuses and conspiracy theories.

I specifically didn't mention a side. When I worked for the Electoral Office NI we regularly received batches of hand-delivered postal registration forms delivered by representatives from one political party in particular. Usually they were batches of postal registrations from retirement/nursing homes with all the details meticulously filled out in the same handwriting, then with feeble old-people scrawls in the signature box. The address for the postal vote ballots to be sent to would be the party's constituency office.

And around the deadline for postal vote returns, campaigners for the party would regularly hand-deliver batches of postal votes. It's not fraud per se, just legal abuse of the system.

Hm yeah because if you put poor as gently caress rural goat farmers into a wealthy environment magically their entire background changes, too.

Well what you're actually saying is that muslims are either unable or unwilling to adapt to their environment and conditions. So that means they're either inherently backward and wicked or they are not better than animals, incapable of rational thought. I'll let you pick which one you meant.

The biggest problem for British people is that yes they have small houses but then they also fill them full of cheap high-street garbage decorations and gigantic sofas with flowers and massive hairy carpets which means that the average British house is 50% wool which is why all their homes look so small.


I agree with you, but even given how dumb our populace is, our houses are very very small.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/u...pe-9544450.html

We build the smallest houses in Europe, even smaller than the Netherlands for 2 reasons:

1) One of our main industries is selling overpriced houses to each other at ever-increasing prices each time and basing our lives on the fact they will always increase in value, so pump insane cash into them. This increases GDP, so the government actively encourages it to the point of lending young people money to keep them at as high a value as possible. I sold my last house in just over a year and made £25k on the sale. I couldn't loving believe it....of course solicitor and estate agent fees ate into this, but jesus christ alive.

Compare this to say, Germany, where there are rent controls and an actual pension is your pension, and house prices are more stagnant and stable, and people tend to do more productive work.

2) We already have too many people for the space we have, FACT. Try driving somewhere on a bank holiday for example. But we also have a large, aging population, the NHS needs qualified people and so on....

So what do we do?

My idea : Sorry Grandad, that 5 bedroom house you bought for £5 in 1950 is now being turned into luxury flats, and you are going to have a nice time in the sun in Spain.

It's not like he will remember where he lived anyway.

A bean burger is only a "meat substitute" because of its shape. If the same ingredients were formed into a C shape it would just be a tasty bean fritter. Would you object to vegetarians eating C-shaped bean fritters?

nah because then it's not pretending to be a burger, a thing that is made of meat, unless it's specifically made to resemble the taste/texture of meat, in which case yes, gently caress them

Yeah i was working late one night and had the TV on and it was about the super rich buying prime london property, and it was literally only chinese or russian billionaires. The son of an Oligarch spent 45million cash on property in London as "he was looking for investments for the remainder of that years investment budget". He viewed some things in knightsbridge and kensington, and picked a 2 bed apartment and a 3 bed townhouse (read terraced house).

The interviewer asked him if he thought if 1)is this good value as a place to live and 2) if he could live here, and he answered:

1) No, this is not good value for a home, but I think of it as an investment bond. In 10 years it will double in value. Also I get the rent each month which is a good return.
2) No, I would never live somewhere like this, it is too small, it is an investment.

He bought them both. Cash.

Something aint right there.

If you don't understand how taking a bunch of people from the rural Middle East and putting them in a totally alien environment might not work out smoothly regardless of their religion then you're dumb. It has nothing to do with them being too stupid to adapt.

Bean burgers generally don't try to imitate the taste or texture of cow rectum burgers. You should try one, or a nut cutlet, which is also coincidentally burger-shaped. Maybe quorn products specifically are fake meat, but if you're eating eggs or dairy (quorn contains these) then you're not even making an effort.
